Sony Xperia XZ2 starts receiving Android 9.0 Pie update

Sony's Xperia XZ2 was launched earlier this year at MWC.

At IFA 2018, Sony unveiled its Xperia XZ3 smartphone, with Android 9.0 Pie on-board. While that’s great, the Japanese technology major hasn’t forgotten its older flagships, when it comes to updates.

The Xperia XZ2, which Sony launched earlier this year at MWC, is getting Android Pie. According to PhoneArena, some Xperia XZ2 users have begun receiving the newest version of Google’s popular mobile operating system. The update is about 1GB in size, and comes with October 2018’s security patch. Apart from that, the update’s changelog doesn’t reveal much. Bearing firmware identifier 52.0.A.3.27, the Android Pie update is quite likely being rolled out in a phased manner, so it may take a while before it reaches all Xperia XZ2 units out in the wild.
